What is MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE error

807559Aug 6 2004 — edited Aug 13 2004

Hello all,

I have a user that connects to a server "Server1" using username "User1" in order to run an application they must switch user "User2" and rlogin to a diffrent server "Server2" to run the X application.

When they start the application they get invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE. What is this error mean. Here are the steps they are doing

User1 loggs on to Server1 using CDE.
User1r starts an command tool.
User1 does a su User2
User2 does a rlogin to Server2
User2 sets the DISPALY to Server1
start the x application

What is wrong here ?

Thanks
